Re: Ever liked an article of clothing so much that you bought it in 2 sizes? ....just in case

Different colors in the same size, yes. Different sizes because it's mail order and I don't know which one will fit, sometimes - but I return the one that doesn't fit. Different sizes to keep because I love it? No.

If I get it a size smaller and don't lose weight, I've wasted money. If I love the item, I can take it to a tailor to take in, instead. Buying it in a larger size seems defeatist, unless I know I fluctuate between sizes at different times of the month or something. No, I would feel like that would be encouraging me to gain weight.

I often did with jeans in the past. But I did do it recently with a sweater that I liked so much and it was a classic that would never go out of style and could be worn both casual and dressy as a top or jacket. I like it so much I may go back for another color. Quite a few years ago I did the same thing with a high end sweater, loved it so much I bought it in every color that was offered, I ruined one so went back for another in the same color too and I still wear them often and love them just as much as I did when I purchased them.
